Please stop removing commas from articles. In some cases your edits are pointless, in other cases your edits are creating grammatically incorrect sentences. If you wish to contribute to this project, please find something more constructive to do.


 * Two examples:


 * nonessential relative clauses require commas, a type of punctuation mark, to set them apart.
 * though it is clear to most, we use commas to separate subordinate clauses when they precede the main clause.

Disambiguation link notification
Hi. When you recently edited Kisses on the Bottom, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Billy Hill (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Pipe mark and wikilinks
Hi RjCan,

You may already know this, but you can change the text that is displayed for a link by using the pipe ( | ) mark. For example Edward Smith will be displayed as Edward Smith instead of Edward Smith (sea captain), but will link to the same article.

TACA Flight 110
Hey, I noticed you added the text "An unusual element of the amazing event is that Captain Carlos Dardano had but one eye." to the article TACA Flight 110. Wikipedia has a strict policy called neutral point of view, which describes how entries in the encyclopedia are to be written in a completely unbiased and neutral tone. Your addition seemed less than neutral to me. I might be a bozo for warning you about something that happened months ago, but I just wanted to be sure you don't do it again. Thanks!

Redlink removal
In your comments when you remove red links, you should probably use that term rather than "square brackets". Also, if you haven't already read this, please do: WP:Red_Link. Regards, Tarl.Neustaedter (talk) 03:25, 20 December 2012 (UTC)

Opting in to VisualEditor
As you may know, VisualEditor ("Edit beta") is currently available on the English Wikipedia only for registered editors who choose to enable it. Since you have made 50 or more edits with VisualEditor this year, I want to make sure that you know that you can enable VisualEditor (if you haven't already done so) by going to your preferences and choosing the item, " ". This will give you the option of using VisualEditor on articles and userpages when you want to, and give you the opportunity to spot changes in the interface and suggest improvements. We value your feedback, whether positive or negative, about using VisualEditor, at VisualEditor/Feedback. Thank you, Whatamidoing (WMF) (talk) 20:23, 11 October 2013 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, please do not remove citations or information sourced through citations simply because a link to a source is not working, as you did to New Denver, British Columbia. Dead links should not be deleted. Instead, please repair or replace the link, if possible, and ensure properly sourced information is retained. Often, a live substitute link can be found. Links not used as references, notes or citations are not as important, such as those listed in the "External links" or "Further reading" sections, but bad links in those sections should also be fixed if possible. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. P.S. It was not a good idea to delete categories or other non-link page content when you are deleting external links. Dl2000 (talk) 17:27, 16 March 2014 (UTC)

Problem with your custom signature
You have a custom signature set in your account preferences. A change to Wikipedia's software has made your current custom signature incompatible with the software.

The problem: Your preferences are set to interpret your custom signature as wikitext. However, your current custom signature does not contain any wikitext.

The solutions: You can reset your signature to the default, or you can fix your signature.


 * Solution 1: Reset your signature to the default:
 * Find the signature section in the first tab of Special:Preferences.
 * Uncheck the box (☑︎→☐) that says "Treat the above as wiki markup."
 * Remove anything in the text box.  (It might already be empty.)
 * Click the blue "" button at the bottom of the page. (The red "" button will reset all of your preference settings, not just the signature.)
 * Solution 2: Fix your custom signature:
 * Find the signature section in the first tab of Special:Preferences.
 * Uncheck the box (☑︎→☐) that says "Treat the above as wiki markup."
 * Click the blue "" button at the bottom of the page.

More information about custom signatures is available at Signatures. If you have followed these instructions and still want help, please leave a message at Wikipedia talk:Signatures. 19:04, 3 September 2020 (UTC)
